Set in the beauty
of the Pacific Northwest, the legend of Swanson Lake is kept by one man, Bill
( Ernest Borgnine). And he's not about to surrender it! When Bill°s two grandsons
come for a summer visit, they stumble into a big-time adventure with a giant
turtle named Mel. When Bill's neighbor Bailey (Jack Scalia) tries to kidnap
Mel in order to feature him in a proposed theme park, the grandsons plot to
hide Mel from the neighbor. Then the fun begins, and Mel becomes an unlikely
hero!
